Thanks so much. It will fit. Wahoo! It took me so long to find the bag; got it for my Kindle DX which will be sold soon. Can't wait for my iPad 3G!
Enjoy yours, OneMike.

I'm texting from mine right now! This thing is really cool. The iPad apple case is really nice also! Waited only 18 mins in line. They were taking 1 non-reserve for every 10 reserves...
it's definitely cool. Moreso then I thought.
wow 1 reserve every 10 mins will be a long day but better then how they are doing it here.
about the case I was unsure if the back would be stuck in keyboard mode how they show in the pics. You can fold it like a book so it's completely flat with the back of the ipad, which is good. there is a tab you put in in to get that keyboard so it's optional. good fit and quality. feels like it'll be sufficient.

The tab in the back is to prop it up if you are using in keyboard mode or want to sit it up like a picture frame or movie. It doesn't look closed if that's what you are trying to do.
Case doesn't seem flimsy. The front of case has some kind of padding inside for the screen. It doesn't really flex easily and I'm confident it'll protect the screen.
For the back part that the ipad goes in. The bezel is sturdy. However the back is rather thin. Silicone case for iphone/ipod thin almost. It's definitely not meant to absorb a shock/drop.
for protecting the iPad from drop/scratches etc.. it seems good. Also doesn't feel like the case itself will tear or is of cheap quality either.

Thanks for the link. Hmmm.. which one to get?
Has anybody seen these in stock at the Best Buy stores or Apple stores?

I HAVE BEEN DEAD TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT. Does it fold Flat-Back like a paper notebook would? Please and Thank you.
Well the Apple store in Memorial City (Houston) said they have plenty of cases in stock in different colors etc including the Apple case

The iPad is not dockable with the Apple case (or any case I presume)
very much agreed.

Yes, it does fold flat back. Which I was glad to see. It has a tab on the back. Only when inserted in that tab does it go in that keyboard mode you see
This reminds me of flip phones. I can remember when the girls had them at first and men were reluctant to get one. Now, it seems no one is using the old skool candy bar phones (aka the old Nokias).
I can see your point FOW.
Most everyone I know with flip phones hated them by the time their contracts were up for various reasons (quality issues with Razr's being the majority). It seems the slider phone is the new rage. Most of them now have a slider or an iPhone now.
I'm thinking about dumping my iPhone 3g if I buy an iPad+3g and going back to my old Sony Ericsson T637 candy bar phone myself. IMO less moving parts = better.
OK, that site just cracked me up. I mean, nice bags, but could the guy who runs it be any more insecure about his manhood? Between all the shots with guns, blog posts that talk about how "hot" his wife is
hmmm I think he doth protest TOO much.
Picked up here in Miami, The Falls.
Got there about 8:50 was back in my car by 9:10. Was probably 30th in line which went really quick. They probably brought in 20 at first. Then maybe 5 and 5.
If you didn't reserve they said they are not selling to you until ALL the reserves are done so that's bad news for those people.
They had every accessory in stock. Just got the 16GB and case though.
please post some pics with the case on. thanks.
